Hypothetical question

Tbh has anyone dealt with something like this in North Carolina? I'm not sure what my options are.

hostile work environment complaint ignored. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Illustrative response

Yeah literally had this conversation with my lawyer last month.

What trips people up most is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Illustrative response

Idk but you could try handling it yourself but honestly a lawyer speeds things up 10x.

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
